After a thoroughly inauspicious beginning on Defiant's Good Guys and Dark Dominion, Yoakum settled in bouncing around to any number of odd books like Wardancer (with the great Alan Weiss), Warriors of Plasm (with the great David Lapham), Geomancer, Eternal Warrior, Secret Weapons, Rai and Turok (despite a dislike of drawing dinosaurs). What followed would be a great run of books to ink:The Grackle, Shi and Batman Outlaws with stellar pencillers like Paul Gulacy and JG Jones. He is currently hard at work on original material like Pistoleras (www.pistolerasmovie.com) and The Carnival.
